    36 °

    Step-by-step explanation:

    In this case a rectangular triangle is formed so we can use the trigonometric functions to calculate the angle, they give us the value of the two legs, therefore we can apply the tangent function.

    Tan A ° = opposite / adjacent

    replacing:

    Tan A ° = 50/68

    Tan A ° = 0.735

    A ° = arc tan (0.735)

    A ° = 36.32

    Which means that the angle of inclination is 36°
